Hi guys! I need to setup a home rehearsal system with headphones output. This is a scheme of what I came up with so far. Please tell me if I'm missing anything or if there are better alternatives to some of the gear in the photo. Thanks!

Two bands coming at sound 2 different ways. It made me think, realize (yet once again), how we lack so much life in music today. One of these bands is so over compressed where the other has very little processing and fantastic mic placement.

Santana is all about dynamics. I listened to most of Santana then compared the same show with Christina Aguilera.

This has some interesting figures about the music business:

hello my friends, just want to know what the best book would be, for a beginner whose starting from ground zero nd absolutely no knowledge of recording, would be to purchase to get some good knowledge like Recording/Mixing for dummies or something like that. I would hope it speaks "english" as far as terms n what not so i dont havta keep jumpin back n forth between a dictionary.

I am, as audiokid knows, now in possession of more gear than I truly know what to do with :). I really would like to go as Chris says to go out one system into another. Here is my dilemma, I was going to use my iMac and run a second copy of Logic Pro X, which thanks to Apple I could. Trouble is, I can't fit it in the studio alongside the 32 inch screen the Mac Pro currently has.

I have a cocktail drum kit, with a tall, 15" barrel drum that stands upright and serves both as the kick and the floor tom. It has small air holes, but no mic port. The kit sounds great, and I can get a solid one-mic recording from it without problems. But I need to do some multi-mic setups, and wanted some informed opinions about recording the kick.

I thought it was a good Idea to share this video, (not from me and I'm not associated to him)
The part about bios helped me greatly.

Hi to all !

I have an idea that might be crazy. I've been considering building an 1176 clone, in part for the experience. I was leaning towards a Rev D, as consensus seems to be that it sounds the best. On the other hand, I would be building a compressor for its character. Shouldn't I be building a Rev A, since it has the most?

Hello, I am looking for recommendations/opinions on drum mics. I currently have two AT2020s for overheads and an SM57 for the snare. I will be buying two MD421s for my toms. (I use a 4 piece drum kit.) I am leaning towards the E602 for the kick, but want to know if there are any other recommendations.
